Virgin TV updates

18th July 2017

Changes to Sky Sports

Sky Sports has been re-launched. Sky Sports channels 1-5 have changed to become dedicated channels for individual sports and two new channels, Sky Sports Action and Sky Sports Arena, have joined the team. All channels are available in HD and SD.

Because of these changes some of your favourite channels may have a new name and channel number, and have moved in the TV Guide. The changes won’t affect your WishLists or your Favourites list, so there’s nothing you need to do.

Press the Guide button on your Virgin TV remote to quickly find the channels, or have a look below to see a list of the new channel names and numbers:
